Here are 8 reasons to join our team in Redmond


1. Convenient location

Nestled between downtown Redmond, Woodinville wine country, and Kirkland, our Redmond office is just 30 minutes from Seattle and includes free parking and reserved parking for carpools! We also offer ORCA cards to commute via the bus or vanpool.


2. On-site fitness center and locker rooms

We offer locker rooms with showers and towel service that you can take advantage of after working out in our aerobics room with virtual classes, our volleyball court, or indoor walking track.


3. Health & wellness suites

Our on-site private health & wellness suites allow you to virtually meet with in-network physicians so you don't have to spend time in the waiting room.


4. Game room

Need to take a break? Challenge your friends and colleagues to a game of shuffleboard, pool, foosball or darts in the game room!


5. On-site cafeteria

No need to leave for lunch - our Redmond office offers a wide variety of food options in the cafeteria for breakfast and lunch, with after-hour options as well, at an affordable price.


6. Social events and activities

Co-workers gather for an on-site happy hour to network and mingle over drinks and games like pool, shuffleboard, foosball, and darts. Multiple on-site groups also influence events on campus, including outdoor recreational events, taking advantage of our Redmond campus' expansive lawn.


7. Multiple on-site labs

We have three on-site labs including:

  • The concept lab - allows for fabrication of products and designs including milling, drop tests, and 3D printing and is open to tours.

  • The sound lab - where our Acoustic Scientists study sound to isolate the audio instructions in our devices, and is captained by Robert Smith, a leading acoustic researcher in the field.

  • The Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) lab - helps ensure external EMI doesn’t interfere with device function, and that the devices themselves don’t produce excessive EMI.


8. The place to be for manufacturing careers

While we're not in it for awards, it's always nice to be recognized for being a great place to work. Stryker has regularly been named a Great Place to Work and a World's Best Workplace. And we're particularly proud of being named the # 1  Best Workplace in Manufacturing and Production for six consecutive years.


Fun fact:

The Redmond Activity Commitee hosts an annual Lunar New Year celebration featuring lion dances, a cultural exchange and lunch.
